I have various pencils but wasn't familiar with a carbon pencil (at least not to my knowledge). A dear friend from our sketching group was working a sketch using her carbon B pencil and gave it to me to play with.
I'm trying it on various papers..............
Handbook by Global Arts (Mixed Media). The man and the bear were sprayed with a fixative. Then learned the carbon pencil is water soluble so I tested it at the bottom of the page.
This quick little sketch was worked on
Strathmore Visual WC paper. The pencil picks up the tooth design of the paper surface as noticeable in the tail feathers.
Before and after taking a damp brush to sketch.....
This one was worked on a piece of
Stonehenge 90lb paper. Also sprayed with fixative.
